The figure shows a bakery's marginal and average cost curves, and its isoprofit curves. The bakery is a price-taker in a large bread market. Suppose the current market price is P₁. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? Price, Cost €6 (5 20 40 60 80 Quantity MC hoprofits AC 100 120 140 160 180 number of loaves Select one or more: a. The bakery would be better off raising its price up to its AC level. O b. The bakery would be minimising its loss at A. Oc. If the bakery is not yet in the market then it would not enter the market. d. If the bakery is already in the market, then it would always immediately exit the market because it is making a loss.
ps ndar 2 You're running a small firm, and you have an estimate of both your cost function and your demand curve. Your cost function is TC-791-11q+5g 2. while your inverse demand curve is P-870-0.4q, where P is the price of one unit of your output and q is the quantity of units produced and sold If you wanted to maximize profit. what quantity would you produce? Please round your answer to the nearest whole number (ie, no decimal places) Type your answer...

Question #1: Perfect Competition Kevins Kayak Company produces kayaks. Assume that the kayak industry is perfectly competitive. The firm has a total cost function of TC(Q) = 240,10 12875 4 Q+. Kevin can sell all the kayaks he produces for $1,200 each.(a) How many kayaks should Kevin produce (i.e., find Q)? (b) Calculate the ATC if Kevin produced at the output level you found in Part (a)? (b) How much profit would Kevin make at the output level found in Part (a)? (c) Should Kevin stay in business? You must justify your answer using the shut-downrule (relating price and average variable cost)!
